  5. Make a list of the main findings • Going through your lists, come up with • Positive aspects and • Concerns

  6. Positive aspects of this survey: • large enough sample, • online-so anonymous encouraging people to answer truthfully, • clear definitions of an office worker and a gamer.

  7. Concerns: • Selection method not stated • may not be random • potential for a high non-response rate-(workers too busy) • only young people surveyed but findings extrapolated to “9 million office workers” which may include other age-groups • some ambiguous response options • dubious claim made: “eating lunch at a desk could double risk of DVT” • it is staying seated that increases the risk, not place of lunch

  8. There should be no ambiguity when answering a survey. This ComRes survey clearly defines an “office worker” and “a gamer” but offers the ambiguous response options: very often, fairly often, not very often in questions 9 to 12.

  9. Go to • “Broadcasting Standards Poll” - 5 pages on • Give 3 concerns you might have

  10. Sampling Error-hidden agenda, • has a very high non-response bias, • question concern: 3 different aspects together in one question.

  11. Read • “Opinion Divided on NZ-US Exercises”

  12. Do you Know the background to this?

  13. Potential unfamiliar vocabulary • Exercises in the military sense and the two names “Galvanic Kiwi” and “AlamHalfa” • ANZUS • rift • dubbed • Marine Corps • Reciprocal platoon exchange • Resuming, resumption

  14. Potential unfamiliar general knowledge • Role of Americans in NZ during world war II • The ANZUS alliance • The origins of New Zealand’s anti-nuclear policy and the banning of American ship visits.

  16. The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results. The larger the margin of error, the less confidence one should have that the poll's reported results are close to the "true" figures; that is, the figures for the whole population. Margin of error occurs whenever a population is incompletely sampled.

  17. Margin of error when there is only 1 group =
